Student Senate

A powerful force for positive change and community building, the MIT Sloan Senate is MIT Sloan's official student government — and a critical link between the student body and the School's program management. Every MIT Sloan student is a potential Senator, and we encourage you to participate even if you're not interested in the responsibility of office.

By charter, the Senate advocates for the general welfare of students at MIT Sloan, working in partnership with the student body and the School's program management, faculty, and alumni, as well as with companies who recruit at MIT Sloan and with students in affiliated programs.

The MIT Sloan Senate is broken into formal subcommittees that address issues around the School: Academic, Activities, Admissions, Alumni Relations, Communication, Facilities, and IT. Several informal committees also form each year, depending on student interest, on topics from professional standards to career development.

Student voices: Ariel Santos, MBA ’10: "I have always been very interested in the intersection between the private sector and the public sector. I came to MIT Sloan to really understand more about the business sector and it has made me realize that the ability to have an impact and make the world a better place doesn't only lie in the non-profit sector."
